News From The Observatory

Last night was a beautiful night for stargazing. Mrs. Reverend is turning out to be quite the astronomer. She spent most of the time running the telescope and looking through the eyepiece while I worked the camera. She did really well and found a lot of stuff to look at. Even after she tripped over one of the tripod legs, the scope was still in alignment close enough to allow her to keep observing. Oops!
